SUMMARY
SALY KURNIA OCTAVIANI. A 320 070 137: ANALYSIS OF ENGLISH
SYNTACTIC STRUCTURE OF COORDINATION IN “COVER STORY”
COLUMN ARTICLES IN CAMPUS ASIA MAGAZINE. RESEARCH
PAPER. MUHAMMADIYAH UNIVERSITY OF SURAKARTA. 2011.
The study aims at describing the distributions of English syntactic structure
of coordination and identifying the categories being coordinated in the “Cover
Story” column articles in Campus Asia magazine based on syntactic structural
approach. The object of the study is sentences having English syntactic structure
of coordination in “Cover Story” column articles of Campus Asia Magazine.
The method of data collection is documentation. The study is descriptive
qualitative. The technique of analyzing data is based on structural grammar
approach. It means that the researcher analyzes the data in the sentences having
syntactic structure of coordination with using Chinese box.
The findings show that (1) there are four kinds of distributions of syntactic
structure of coordination based on its functions in sentence; subject, predicate,
object, and complement. While there are two kinds of distributions specifically
based on its functions in phrases; head and modifier. (2) the categories being
coordinated are divided into three; clause which appears in independent clause
and dependent clause; phrase which appears in noun phrases, verb phrases,
infinitive phrases, prepositional phrases, and prepositional gerund phrases; and
words which appears in noun, verb, adjective and adverb.
Keywords: Syntactic analysis, English syntactic structure of coordination,
Structural grammar, Chinese boxes, Articles.
